     INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

     The Internet of Things or IoT, is a system that connects everyday objects to the Internet. These
     objects can send and receive data, making them smart. IoT can be described as a network of
     physical devices that communicate with each other automatically, without human involvement.   ROBOTICS
     This can include anything from your smartwatch to smart fridges and even entire smart cities.
                     Robotics is the field of designing and building robots. Robots which are machines that can
                     perform  tasks either independently  or  with  assistance  from humans.  They  come  in various
                     shapes and sizes, such as robotic arms in factories, robot vacuum cleaners or even humanoid
                     robots. They are used in many fields, such as assisting with surgeries in hospitals, exploring
                     space and assembling cars or packing goods in factories. They make work more efficient, faster

                     and safer for people.

     The first IoT device was a Coca
     Cola machine at Carnegie Mellon
     in the 1980s.

     HOW DOES IOT WORK?

     IoT works by connecting devices to the Internet, allowing them to collect and share data. Sensors on
     these devices detect changes in the environment and the data is sent to the cloud for processing.   Robot Vacuum Cleaner  Robotic Arms  Robots
     Based on this data, actions are taken, like adjusting settings or triggering events, making everyday

     tasks more automated and efficient.

     EVERYDAY EXAMPLES OF IOT  ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION (RPA)

     Some of the IoT devices you use or see in your daily life include:
                     Robotic Process Automation  (RPA) is  a technology  that  automates  repetitive,  rule-based
